    Very fun experience for...

    amy_P, Jun 2025
    Very fun experience for us and a great way to see things we may not have normally looked for. Likes having the option to stop and go and do things at your own pace.

    Fun easy intro to Vienna

    Linda_W, Jul 2024
    The tour was a fun casual way to get to know the city. We finished only 7 of the clues but that was just fine. Our other city activities interrupted finishing all 10 questions. I don’t want to write a spoiler but I can say there were some surprises along the way that gave us some laughs. Enjoy this simple tour.

    A great way to see the sights.

    Donna_B, Jun 2024
    This was so much fun to do. We saw many important sights and learned a lot about each. My husband, who hates sightseeing tours, loved this one. Hint: bring pen and paper with you.

    A fun, inexpensive way to see Vienna!

    Jamie_C, Jan 2024
    A great, fun and inexpensive way to see the city with awesome tidbits of history and culture! Will definitely do one again!

    Positive experiences

    Jorg_W, Jul 2026
    Interesting way to explore a new city. Those who want to can discover great places off the beaten path. However, the set could also be available for, e.g., over 24 hours. Be available, e.g., 48 hours. The instructions to set up the game were the only thing in English. For whatever reason?

    Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback! 😊 Es freut uns, dass Sie tolle Orte abseits der Hauptwege in Wien entdeckt haben! Gute Nachricht: Ihr Ticket ist nicht auf 24 Stunden begrenzt — Sie können jederzeit pausieren und an einem anderen Tag weiterspielen. Ihre Anmerkung zur englischen Einrichtungsanleitung nehmen wir ernst und leiten sie an unser Team weiter. Wir hoffen, Sie bald in einer anderen Stadt begrüßen zu dürfen! 🗺️

    A little flexible, could...

    ElisabethH_B, Apr 2026
    Little flexible, couldn't go back. Just read up a text at every attraction we could be wiser of on google. Had expected more during the trip, and there was a lot of printing back and forth.

    Takk for tilbakemeldingen! Vi beklager at opplevelsen ikke møtte forventningene dine i Wien. Vi vil presisere at spillere fritt kan velge neste stasjon — noe som gjør ruten veldig fleksibel. Appen har også en lydknapp ved hver attraksjon så du kan lytte i stedet for å lese. Vi håper å ønske deg velkommen i en annen by snart! 🗺️

    Funny city walk

    Kathlen_S, Nov 2025
    Very funny idea and a great individual way of a city tour! From us it would have been nice to have been able to impart a little more knowledge maybe you could go a little deeper into the topic and make the texts longer! But still for the price a nice idea!

    Im Stich gelassen

    Evelyn_G, Sep 2024
    Guten Tag. Ich konnte mich auf dieser worldcitytrail App nicht einloggen und habe daher ihre Hilfe per WhatsApp angefordert. Es wurde mir gesagt, ich soll die Bestätigungsnummer + via eingeben. Funktionierte nicht - Anmeldung fehlgeschlagen. Dann wurde mir gesagt, ich solle diese App löschen und nochmal runterladen , den Cache leeren und dann Via- und die Bestätigungsnummer eingeben. Hab ich gemacht. So haben wir ewig hin und her geschrieben. Funktionierte einfach nicht. Dann hieß es auf einmal ich muss direkt bei worldcitytrail um Hilfe bitten, sie sind da nicht zuständig. Auf einmal - nicht zuständig!!! So dann sind wir bereits in Wien angekommen und ich habe dann auf die tour verzichtet, weil keine Zeit mehr dafür war. Ich weiss aber jetzt , dass ich bei ihnen sicher nichts mehr buchen werde. Ich bin der Meinung, man sollte eben gleich sagen, wenn ihr nicht zuständig seid. Das Geld hätte ich lieber jemandem gespendet. Mfg Evelyn Golob

    Response from Host, Apr 2026

    Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback und wir entschuldigen uns aufrichtig für die Unannehmlichkeiten. Es tut uns sehr leid, dass Sie trotz Ihrer Kontaktaufnahme über WhatsApp keine ausreichende Hilfe erhalten haben — das entspricht nicht unserem Standard und wir nehmen das sehr ernst. Wir verstehen wie frustrierend es ist, wenn man die korrekten Anweisungen erhält aber es trotzdem nicht funktioniert. Bitte kontaktieren Sie uns direkt auf worldcitytrail.com/chat mit Ihrer Buchungsnummer damit wir Ihren Fall sofort prüfen und eine faire Lösung für Sie finden können. Das schulden wir Ihnen. 🗺️

    Wenen educatief en vrij

    Rianne_M, Aug 2024
    Super leuke gerichte educatieve wandeling door Wenen. Echt een mooie ervaring en voor herhaling vatbaar in andere steden. Toppertje!

    Response from Host, Oct 2024

    Hartelijk dank voor uw prachtige recensie!

    Visite Vienne pour EVJF

    Dmarest_A, May 2024
    Activité intéressante pour découvrir les lieux important de Vienne. Prix un peu élevé pour juste utiliser une autre appli pour réaliser l’activité. Pourquoi pas plutôt créer directement le circuit et éviter les allers/retours inutile dans Vienne et également ajouter un audio guide.

    From $5.83

    per person

    up to 24 hours before the experience starts (local time)

    Book ahead!
    On average, this is booked 8 days in advance.
